I take it you didn't hear about the Oprah show that didn't air. Oprah had Jim Perdue, the CEO of Perdue chicken, on the show and asked what he says when people say he resembles a chicken. He replied "What do you say when people say you resemble a gorilla"? Hmmm, do you really need an explanation on this? People have been compared to animals for eons. I remember when the original series "V" came out about alien lizards and the lead male actor was said to resemble one in real life. This was the 80's. If you look like an animal, then you do. Simple as that. Abe Vigoda is "white" but looks amazingly like an old Chimpanzee. Get over it. It's not about race, it's about what you resemble.
